CAREFULLY READ ALL WARNINGS AND COOKING TIPS 

BEFORE USING YOUR NEW MICRO GRILL 

Thank you for purchasing the Micro Grill. Future Kitchen Technologies has designed the 

Micro Grill to provide you with many years of fast, easy and safe preparation of delicious 

meals. Included in this manual and on the Micro Grill are important safety messages 

that will enhance and prolong the enjoyment of your new Micro Grill. 

The Micro Grill is a cooking appliance and as with any cooking appliance, caution must 

be used. Among the basic safety precautions to be followed are: 

1. Please read all instructions before using this appliance. 

2. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. DO NOT 

use corrosive chemicals, vapors or non-food products in this appliance. The Micro 

Grill is specifically designed to heat and cook food products. 

3. The Micro Grill is not a toy and should not be used by children. 

4. If you have a convection microwave oven, use in the microwave setting only. Do not 

use the Micro Grill in a convection or conventional oven. 

5. DO NOT operate this appliance if it is not functioning properly or if it has been 

chipped, cracked, damaged or dropped. 

6. DO NOT cover or block any openings or vents on this appliance during preheat, 

cooking or cleaning. 

7. DO NOT leave Micro Grill unattended while in use. 

8. If, when operating your microwave oven, you see sparks or flames inside the 

microwave, DO NOT open the microwave door. Immediately turn the microwave 

oven off, disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit 

breaker panel. 

9. When placed in the microwave, the Micro Grill must be placed on a flat, 

stable surface. 

10. ALWAYS use caution when removing the Micro Grill from the microwave oven. 

The juice reservoir may contain liquids that can be very hot. To prevent 

injuries, keep the Micro Grill level when removing it from the microwave. 

11. During preheat and cooking keep your Micro Grill at least 1" away from the side 

walls of the microwave oven. 

12. After preheat and cooking, open the Micro Grill carefully away from your face to 

avoid hot steam or grease splatter. 

13. Foods cooked for a prolonged period in the microwave may create a fire hazard. 

To reduce this risk, DO NOT overcook food. 

14. After cooking, allow the Micro Grill to stand in the microwave oven for a few 

seconds before removing. 

15. Similar to microwave safe plates and dishes, the Micro Grill will get warm during 

preheat and cooking. To avoid the risk of burns, pot holders should always be 

used when inserting or removing the Micro Grill from the microwave. 

16. Use ONLY Teflon coated or plastic cooking utensils to remove food from the 

Micro Grill. Metal utensils will damage the Micro Grill’s non-stick surface. If the 

nonstick surface is gouged, scratched, or scraped, the Micro Grill is damaged and 

must not be used. Metal utensils should never be placed in an operating 

microwave. 

17. Test the temperatures of any foods before eating. Some foods have fillings 

which heat faster and can be extremely hot, while the surface remains warm to 

the touch. 

18. DO NOT use the Micro Grill for any purpose other than the preparation of food. 

19. DO NOT preheat the Micro Grill for more than 3 minutes. Carefully follow the 

preheat instructions in this manual. If traces of smoke are visible during the 

preheat of a clean Micro Grill, reduce the preheat time by 30 seconds with future 

uses. 

20. Overheating as a result of leaving the Micro Grill in the microwave too long may 

damage the Micro Grill. Note that if your Micro Grill is already warm, less preheat 

time is required. 

21. It is important to keep your Micro Grill clean and dry. Food residue and 

condensation may cause damage to the Grill. After each use, wash, wipe and dry 

all surfaces.

MICRO GRILL DIRECTIONS 

(Please read precautions before using the Micro Grill) 

Before using the Micro Grill for the first time, preheat your Micro Grill 

for two minutes to eliminate any surface dust or oils that may have 

accumulated in the manufacturing or shipping process. Allow the Micro 

Grill to cool, then clean with dish detergent and water. 

• Preheat your Micro Grill for two minutes in the microwave oven (longer preheat time 

may be required for recipes included in this manual). Preheating should never extend 

beyond 3 minutes. 

• Carefully open the lid and place the food inside the Micro Grill. Close the Micro Grill 

lid and press down lightly on the food for full grill contact. The Micro Grill’s floating 

hinge attachment adjusts to any thickness of food, maximizing the food/grill 

surface contact. 

• Place the Micro Grill in the microwave oven. The Micro Grill should be on a level 

surface and at least 1" from the sides of the microwave. 

• Cook the food for the length of time as directed in this manual, or according to your 

cooking preferences. 

• Carefully remove the Micro Grill from the microwave. The Micro Grill will be hot. 

Potholders are recommended. Keep the Micro Grill level when removing food to avoid 

spilling hot liquid that has collected in the reservoir. 

COOKING TIPS 

Microwave ovens vary by manufacturer and model. Please check your oven to determine 

the proper settings. 

PREHEAT TIME 

1300 watt microwave oven Preheat approximately 2 minutes 

950 watt microwave oven Preheat approximately 2 minutes 45 seconds 

Both bone and fat content affect cooking. Bones may cause irregular cooking. Meat next 

to the tips of bones may overcook, while meat positioned under a large bone, may be 

undercooked. Large fat deposits may absorb heat, leaving the adjacent meat more rare. 

In addition, uniform sized food will cook more evenly. The thin end of a steak will cook 

more quickly than the thicker end. 

GRILLING 

Not all foods will have the same appearance as foods cooked on a conventional grill. For 

more distinct grill marks, meats and poultry may be coated with olive oil, butter or a 

browning sauce such as Worcestershire, barbecue sauce or shake-on browning sauce. 

To use, combine browning sauce with melted butter or margarine and brush on all meat 

surfaces before cooking. Surfaces may also be sprinkled with dark spices before 

cooking. Pressing the lid down lightly on the food before cooking can assist in browning 

and grilling marks. 

• Carefully open the lid of the Micro Grill. 

• Serve and enjoy a deliciously grilled meal! 

BAKER SPACER INSTRUCTIONS: 

You can bake pastries like frozen turnovers 

and crescent rolls at microwave speeds in 

the Micro Grill. Attach the baker spacers to 

the handles of the bottom grill plate and 

enjoy delicious baked foods in just minutes 

without heating up a large oven. 

COOKING TIME 

A range of cooking time is given in each recipe. Cooking times will vary with food shape, 

starting temperature, microwave power and cooked food preferences. Always cook food 

for the minimum recommended cooking time provided in each recipe before checking 

that the food item is cooked to your preference. If additional cooking time is needed, 

replace the item in the Micro Grill and continue cooking in the microwave. 

STAND TIME 

Items left in a closed Micro Grill will continue to cook even after the Micro Grill is 

removed from the microwave.

COOKING TIPS CONTINUED 

ABOUT FOOD SAFETY AND COOKING TEMPERATURE 

Proper cooking depends upon the power, time, temperature and quantity of food. 

Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of 

Agriculture’s recommended temperatures. 

COOKING TIPS CONTINUED 

Your Micro Grill will soon prove to be one of the quickest ways to an easy, but fantastic 

meal. Juicy, flavorful and convenient, these tantalizing time-savers are ready to go in 

your Micro Grill in just minutes and can be used to create countless dishes.

• During cleaning do not submerge the Micro Grill in water. 

Fresh 

3 minutes 

• The non-stick surface of the Micro Grill makes it easy to clean - it’s even dishwasher 

safe. Before placing your Micro Grill in the dishwasher, separate the top and bottom 

grill plates: 

Frozen 

Hot Dogs 

4 minutes 

2 minutes 

1. Place the cooled Micro Grill on a flat surface with the opening facing you. 

2. Lift the lid half way (approximately 45 degrees). 

3. While steadying the bottom plate, gently pull the upper plate toward you, 

detaching it from the bottom plate. 

• Place the individual grill plates in the upper rack of the dishwasher with the 

hinges facing downward. A small drainage hole in the hinge allows any excess liquid 

to escape. 

Pounding steak and chicken to an even thickness helps it cook quickly and evenly. To get 

the juiciest, most flavorful Micro Grill experience, experiment with marinates and rubs to 

infuse foods with a blast of flavor. Depending on microwave wattage, food thickness and 

food preference, cooking times may vary. 

• After cleaning and before using, reattach the upper and lower grill plates by aligning 

the pegs on the upper grill with the channel on the lower and sliding into position. 

• If moisture becomes trapped in the upper or lower portion of the Micro Grill, drain 

water and perform preheat on assembled grill to help evaporate moisture.
